Can I change it to memorable? We had a Road Trip at Broadway Square Mall. All of a sudden, a massive wind and monsoon rain storm hit. We had 1,000 pairs of shoes that were donated from the shoe drive, 3 tents that were all about to blow onto traffic on Broadway. Three teenage boys pulled over to rescue us. It could have gone really badly, but God sent those boys and protected us. It rained so hard our faces hurt from the rain. Note to self…no Road Trip near Broadway!
